Individuals, organizations and national and international networks undersigned express our deep concern about the state of repression and human rights violation which is subject to the Honduran people ( a) a particular way and we denounce the aggression and persecution of organizations and human rights defenders are facing for reporting, during and after the coup, the repressive policies and high rates of violence and impunity prevailing in Honduras.
In recent months, policies such as the new Law on Education Municipalization (first step to privatize public education) and wage debt, 2010 to over six thousand teachers (who represent the majority of teachers sector) Among other measures, have led to social mobilization and protest in various parts of the country, and the teachers' strike call.
In response to social discontent, the regime of Porfirio Lobo declared the strike illegal and issued a decree to legalize the suspension of salaries and massive layoffs of teachers if you do not desist in their demands. Also sent to the state security forces to suppress with great violence, peaceful protests of the teachers supported by various social movements: A
the demonstrators have been beaten and attacked with tear gas, leaving many people injured. Some people received gunshot wounds.
• The March 24 were detained without charge in the city of Tegucigalpa, and subsequently sent to prison Tamara women teachers: Ingrid Lisette Sierra, Nuria Evelyn Verduzco, Linda Fonseca Guillén Melina, Maria Auxiliadora Espinoza and Wendy Mendez. Among them is a teacher with a baby of 9 months, who was denied the right to have the little boy with her.
• The March 18, following the violent eviction at the hands of state security agents in the city of Tegucigalpa, the teacher died Ilse Ivania Velásquez Rodríguez.
This is not an isolated event, since the beginning of the mandate of Mr Lobo, of widespread peaceful demonstrations have been repressed and has increased the persecution and threats against women's and feminist organizations, as well as any defender human rights sympathize with the national resistance movement. Recent examples are: the chain of challenges that have beset Ms. Gladys Lanza and Movement Women for Peace "Visitation Padilla" since July 2010, the constant threat that communities have suffered from the Voice of Zacate Grande teargas injuries and arbitrary detention for 12 hours without medical attention, suffered Miriam Miranda (president Black Fraternal Organization of Honduras) on 28 March or the assault and looting of the feminist organization "CESADEH. Human rights defenders also face the impunity that kept growing violence against women, which has left 50 cases of femicide in 2011 so far.
Only in 2010 were able to document the killings of five rights defenders humans: two members of the Resistance Front (Claudia Brizuela and Teresa Flores), a member of the Young Women's Network of the Colony "Red Cross" (Jessica Gálvez) and two activists of the LGBT (Parson and Neraldys Gamaniel).
These and other attacks on human rights defenders in Honduras, were denounced by feminists Mesoamerica before the Human Rights Council in March 2011 as part of the presentation of the global report on the situation of defenders submitted by the Special Rapporteur Human Rights Defenders. This time the Honduran state said he was committed to the safety and protection of human rights defenders, which is inconsistent with their practice systematic threats, repression and tolerance to the killing of women human rights defenders.
Given these facts, we call the system of United Nations human rights to:
strongly it decides the state material breach of Honduran human rights conventions it has signed.
· Apply for all measures within their power to put a limit to the widespread violation of political rights of the Honduran population and the political persecution and human rights defenders in Honduras.
· Require the State of Honduras to conduct an impartial investigation to identify all those responsible for attacks against human rights defenders and the prosecution of those responsible for them in accordance with human rights obligations of the State of Honduras.
